Lift & Escalators are an essential part of the London Underground (LUL) Network and without them the system would cease to work efficiently.
As part of continual operations and upgrades London Underground require that their critical assets, including Lifts and Escalators, are regularly refurbished and/or replaced in a systematic manner.
The LUL Lifts and Escalators are normally heavy duty and often have locations which are deep beneath street level. Consequently the logistics of the removal can be very challenging. Therefore removing Lifts and Escalators within the underground network is generally considered to be high profile and high risk.
When it is necessary to replace a Lift or Escalator the main client naturally expects the project team to deliver the works safely, on budget, and on time. The time element is often crucial, due to the inconvenience to the travelling public and the potential loss of revenue to the client. Therefore although the main element of the works is often the new escalator, unless the enabling and removal works complete on schedule, the whole programme and final costs can be put in serious jeopardy. The careful selection of the enabling and ROM contractor is therefore critical to the overall success of any Lift or Escalator replacement project, particularly in terms of their capabilities, track record, safety, delivery and value for money.
RJC have for over 30 years provided specialised rigging, lifting, installation, dismantling, and maintenance services to the Telecommunications, Broadcasting and Oil and Gas sectors. Combined with our dedicated ROM management team and a highly experienced and trained workforce, we have been able to transfer our considerable knowledge and expertise in lifting and movement operations to the removal of lifts and escalators.
RJC have subsequently and successfully carried out more than 50 ROMs of various Lifts and Escalators safely on budget, on time, time after time. We can also provide logistical, assembly, and dismantling services for Lift and Escalator refurbishment works. It is for these reasons that our clients know they can consistently rely on RJC and this is why RJC are recognised as the ROM contractor of choice for our LUL clients.
